Reception

We Got This Covered gave the film four stars, with the consensus "Robert Longstreet delivers an excellent performance and helps carry The Missing Girl to a place where it's a pleasantly enjoyable character study."[2] Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com compared the film favorably to the 2001 film Ghost World and stated that it was "awkwardly stylized (sometimes too much), but the leads are always engaging, and the plot is unique and entertaining."[3]
